WASHINGTON, u. c., September 30
The estimated reduction of the public
debt for the month Of September is
SlG,5C0,O0p
IN unusually large demand has been
made for interuaI-reycnue stamps for
tobacco, principally tor cigarette
stamps and the Bureau OF Engraving
and Printing is busily engaged in print
ing an eXtia supply Of these stamps.
1t is said Mt the Treasury Depart
ment that dealers in tobacco believe
that the short crop for this year will
result in an increase of prices for that
commodity, and are preparing them
selves accordingly.
The amount of bonds offered to the
Treasury Department to-day was ST.
eco, which is less than on any day since
the daily purchases began. This fact
is regarded at the department as iudi-
eating that the Government has prncti-
cally secured alLthe floating bonds that
can be obtained at the present rates
fixed nv the departments circular AMI
that the stlingency Of the money mar
ket has been sufficiently relieved for
the present.

DEFEAT ACKNOWLEDGE.

"There's no question which is the

day. This is Il fair race, and We are
fairly beaten
Mr.. Bel said subsequently: "Oi
course am sadly disappointed at the
result, but the Volunteer has certainly
beaten us nohly and fairly. After all,
IT must be the ccntre-boar which has
done 1t.
The Volunteer is treating the This

said Captain TimsOn, as the Volunteer
rounded the stake boat. at has been
a iair race and splendidly sailed. We
are sQuarcly beaten and must simply
take It as "a fortune of war. OF course
we all had faith in the Thistle. We
would not have come over here with
boat which we expected would be
beaten. but there is no doubt now
which is the fastest boat.
Commodore Clark, Robert Clark, Dr.
Donald, Mr. Challener, Mr. and Mrs.
Hillard, Nice-Commander and Mrs.
Bell, Mr.. York, Mr. Watson, and their
friends will bid farewell to the MOhican
and Thistle and sail for Europe on the
City of Rome October 18th.
William Clark will keep the Thistle
over here, and in February, with his
family and a party Of friends, will take
a cruise to the West Indies and next
fall will take her back to the Clyde.
THE NEWS ACROSS THE WATER.
GLASGOW, September 3O.-Scotch-
men are greatly disappointed over the
result of the race, but they admitted
that the Thistle was fairly beaten. 1t
is believed that if the race for the cup
is again to be sailed in American waters
the Scotch yacht to be successful must
have a centre-board.
THE ENGLISH PRESS on THE DEFEAT.
LONDON. October The Post says
sThe American victory is complete, al
though the result does not discredlt
the Scotch challeDgers. The Americans
have fairly shown that for the mere
nurpose of racing their centre-board
sloop is faster than the English deep
keeled cutter. 1t must be remembered
that the Thistle is only the first attempt
TO borrow someof the good qualities OF
American boats, and it is probable that
the designer will prove capable
of further developing his model.
The mere fact that for three success
sive wears the centre-board has en-
pbatically had the best OF the English
keel confirms the opinion that if we
mean 10 win we must send over CEN
tre-board boat but at the risk of leav-
ing the cup in America, We hope that
no one will resort to this expedient. "
The Post confesses that the Thistle
was fairly and squarely beaten. 1t
suggests that race from New York to
Liverpool be arranged between the two
The NeDs regrets that the race was
not sailed in English waters. The
American course, it says, is imperfectly
known to English captains. The News
adds: England has TO learn lesson
from America IN this branch Of ship

GALVESTON, September 30-Colonel
II. G. Lowe, of the Galveston Nc,Cs,
vas arrested this afternoon, charged
with laboring on Sunday in violation
of law, and with compelling and
obliging his employees to labor on Sun
day
Colonel Lowe refused to give bail,
and was temporarily released on parole
pending a hearing tomorrow before
Criminal-District Judge Cook on a
writ of h0Jc0S corpus. The last Legis-
lature passed sweeping Sunday law,
and through its editorial columns the
Ncrs has urgently demanded strict en-
forcement of the law. Numerous minor
arrests have been made during the past
month, but this attempt to enforce the
law against the NerS for publishing a
Sunday issue excites general interest
here and throughout Texas. Colonel
Lowe proposes to carry the case to the
Supreme Court ON the ground that a
special exemption to sell newspapers
carries with it the right to publish the
same on Sunday.

THE CUP SAFE.
THE VOLUNTEER WINS TIE SECOND
RACE EASILY.
A Splendid Contest, Showing the Superb
oIity Of the Yankee sloop-Ths Scotch
men Acknowledge Defeat.

New YORK, September 30.-Of all
the races for the Americans cup none
was ever sailed before under the condi-
tons which prevailed at to-day's races :;
and none was ever more fairly won than
this, in which the Volunteer defeated
the scotch cutter Thistle over the out
side course Of forty miles. The only
regret the people have who saw the
mcc is that the Thistle was not able 70
shown ore seaworthy qualities, aud thus
mike the contest a closer one. Half
ID hnr after the start it was plain that
thc Thistle was beaten boat unless a
fiukeor shift Of wind should save her
rom what promised to be an over
WIDENING defeat.
IN the twenty-mile thrash to wind
ward the centre-board type told so
heavily against the keel that the cutter
Was beaten ten minutes and forty-nine
seconds. The Thistle redeemed herself
IL little coming home before the wind
by gaining two minutes and twenty-six
seconds on the Volunteer.

Rev. W. P. Evans, of the 9Th district,
we regret to learn, met with an accident
q few days ago which came very near
killing him. While sitting on a running
wagon with an axe in his hand, the axe
caught between the spokes of one of the
wagon wheels, which threw the handle
around with great force, striking him on
the face and knocking him of the wag-
on. He has suffered very much from
the injuries sustained, but is able to be
about again.
David Taylor, colored, brakeman on
the E. T., Va. & Ga. Railroad, whose

day met with an accident at the depot in
this place which may prove fatal. While
coupling cars, he fell on the track and
the wheels passed over his legs, breaking
the right at the ankle and the left just
below the knee. The left was so badly
crushed that amputation was necessary,
which operation was performed by DR..
J.. r. Boyd. The injured mar was taken
to the home of Dan Slower just after the
accident, where he still remains. The
Railroad Company placed the case in
DR.. Boyd's care. The doctor thinks his
recovery doubtful.
